One Waits Upon the Horizon

The purple race the tussock face
heather dwells in delinquent mist
fresh the morning waits to embrace
as the sun’s rays break to enlist.
For you are there my summer rose
against the wind your grace unfolds
nothing there is like nature chose
for the memory one remoulds.
Golden sunrise upon the morn
captures the diamond on the dew
nature revels in fragrances worn
scented hint of florescent hue.
The verdant valley doth display
when gentle breeze her hair to sway.

Feels like something from a classical era, this makes me swoon, especially 'against the wind your grace unfolds' and 'natures revels in fragrances worn' - am faving this one :)

Dear Harry, the delight of your sensory imagery is tempered by wistful emotion.. which allows your beautiful sonnet to bloom, a summer rose, with a richer, deeper aura. Breathtaking poetry, my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

The sonnet is my favorite serious form, Harry, and I love the dreamy quality of this one. I can imagine the dewy heather in the mist in England. What beauty you behold each sunrise! Do you miss England? Hope life is going well in Australia. Hugs, Carolyn
